“All modern operating systems do this, including macOS and Linux. It’s not ‘cheating’; this is how modern systems make apps feel fast: they temporarily boost the CPU speed and prioritize interactive tasks to reduce latency”

I mean this part I agree with them on. Good on them for finally figuring out something that other operating systems, including free ones, have been doing for a while now.

The video comparison in the article is just opening outlook. 14 seconds vs 4 seconds to get to the damned thing ready to use.

Lol. lmao, even

I'm just surprised the got outlook opened in 14 seconds in the first place. I'm also surprised they've managed to write an email client so fucking horrible it takes 14 seconds to open in the first place. Though in my experience it's more like a minute since my only Windows computer and the only computer I need to access Outlook on also has bossware on it and only has a a 13th gen i5 so it's like 20 years too old to run Windows 11 efficiently...
